| Description: |
hsa_circ_0001445 (circSMARCA5), derived from SMARCA5, is down-regulated in HCC tissues and in several HCC cell lines. Its overexpression promotes apoptosis and suppresses proliferation, migration and invasion, consistent with a tumor-suppressive role. Plasma hsa_circ_0001445 is reduced in HCC and shows diagnostic potential by ROC analysis, especially when combined with AFP. |
